The FiveMinute Linguist: Bitesized Essays on Language and Languages takes a new approach to making accurate and uptodate knowledge about language accessible in a nonacademic way. It consists of some 5560 chapters, each about 700 words long, adapted from the weekly scripts of a popular NPR series on language. The scripts, contributed by a crosssection of leading professional linguists in America and abroad, address questions like 'How many languages are there in the world?' 'Should we teach languages in elementary school?' and 'How good is machine translation?' They are written with a light touch that has been highly successful in reaching an audience of intelligent nonspecialists. The book will preserve that light touch while adding such features as an index (to help readers connect topics touched on in more than one chapter) and suggestions for followup reading.
